Iran Versus Macy’s

The NYT recently published an updated compendium of the 281 people, places and things that the Republican nominee for President has insulted via Twitter. It makes for some unbelievable and sometimes humorous reading. Interestingly enough, the “great orange one” has more vitriol to hurl at Macy’s department store (“very disloyal to me”) than at Iran and the recent international nuclear agreement (“Really sad!”).
The Iran nuclear deal international agreement:
“terrible”
“horrendous”
“horrible”
“horribly negotiated”
“Really sad!”
“truly stupid”
“insane”
“incompetent”
“horrible”
“incompetent”
“one of the most incompetent ever made”
“terrible”
“is a catastrophe”
“will lead to at least partial world destruction”
“one of the dumbest & most dangerous misjudgments ever”
“poses a direct national security threat”
Macy’s department store:
“one of the worst-performing stocks”
“very disloyal company”
“Don’t shop there for Christmas!”
“disloyal”
“very disloyal to me”
“racial profiling”
“no guts, no glory”
“there are far better stores”
“Macy’s stores suck and they are bad for U.S.A.”
“no guts no glory”
“Wow! I hear that thousands of people are cutting up their Macy’s credit card”
“terrible hypocrites”
“Macy’s stock just dropped”
“so many people calling to say they are cutting up their Macy’s credit card”
“they ‘racial profile’ all over the place”
“racists”
“weak on border security”
